inner strength, trust





If fear is part of growth, how do we develop inner strength and how do we develop trust?

Trust is a very important part of the spiritual journey. Not trust in a particular outcome, but trust that you can open to the present moment. And we don't just automatically have that trust; it's something that we develop... [through/with]... mindfulness.

What will hap;en if I open to and trust in the present moment? How will what I need to do in the next moments get organized to get done? People are depending on me.
